What happens when you mix different people from different backgrounds with different musical styles? What happens when all of these people have a deep love and respect for their art form? You create the unique irie tones of Louisiana reggae/funk band Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor.
The concept for the band started with Turner’s idea to develop a completely new kind of music, a fusion of contemporary and ethnic rhythms that would appeal to a cross section of fans in national and international markets, therefore creating a brand new music genre – Louisiana Reggae/Funk. Comments Henry, “I consciously wanted an infused sound, one with elements of R&B, reggae and blues, with some jazz chording. Mr. Turner wanted to create a completely different kind of sound. Henry, who is also the president of Hit City Records, has managed several successful independent bands and artists. This, with the love of music that started from an early age, has allowed him to bring together a unique collection of people.
